"Porkie and me came to some sort of agreement with the screw and the nurse, and after some haggling we gave ourselves up.

That just shows you how drugs can get a grip over your mind."

The governor said to my lawyer that it was 'self-inflicted' and was caused by my 'running into walls'. That part was disproved because walls don't leave footprints all over your body."

"I will not go into detail but the screw put up a little bit of a resistance, fair play to him, but we were so desperate for the drugs in her medical bag that nothing was going to stop us getting at them.
